NBC video of trump with Billie bush discussing women: Trump is heard saying, "they let you do anything if you're rich. GRAB 'EM BY THE PUSSY." LOOK AT BBC 's release of the WHOLE video....Bring thIs BACK into the light of day, NOW! DONT LET THAT GO...It's not locker talk...it's a sicko, slimey, creeping wealthy, crooked, lying less-than saying what he believes. AND how he ranks women. GET HIM all you who are kind, good, morally healthy, both blue but especially red citizens

Please put your comment into the form of a petition. I do not know how many ‘thousand’? Signatures it will take to have a legitimate news station broadcast the result, but, as many as it will take to counter Trump’s denials.

Contrary to the ‘macho’ persona Trump performs, I know that he clandestinely HATES women (proof was shown by his ‘delight’ at getting ‘Roe’ cancelled, when he doesn’t care one bit about anti-abortion…it was just to get ‘votes’)

Women are ‘Kleenex’ to authoritarian rulers, and that is what Donald Trump is…along with his other labels: TRAITOR, THIEF, SERIAL LIAR, ADULTERER, and now, probably PEDOPHILE. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♂️

Were any of the Russian ‘hookers’ who urinated on him ‘underaged’? My guess is that at least one was! J. Epstein raped young girls…good company for the Bible-clutching Trump.

DJT even alluded to ‘admiring his own daughter, sexually’…🤮

Just how much LOWER must he sink before all morality and decency DENIED!

Ask the members of the GOP how many would invite Trump to their daughter’s Birthday parties…or allow a daughter to take a ride with POTUS #47 in the limo??

Go ahead…ASK THEM!

Actions speak louder than words, and there must be evidence…somewhere…of Trump attending one of Epstein’s ‘celebrations of beautiful YOUNG women’ to counter the lies and denials POTUS #47 will spout.

GET READY TO HAVE YOUR EYES OPENED, MAGA KITTENS!

Thankyou Linda! Well spoken!👍

Right is right! Fair is fair! We must keep up the resistance! Mr. John Lewis, thank you for your brave and excellent example. 🙏

Unfortunately, the John Lewis/MLK mode of protest -- protected as it was by humanitarian elements within LBJ's (otherwise ecogenocidal*) regime -- is no longer effective now that the MAGATs' "Unified Reich" has replaced the Republic. To learn exactly what this means, read "The Last Article," here: https://dn720004.ca.archive.org/0/items/last-article-harry-turtledove/Last%20Article%20Harry%20Turtledove.pdf

__________________

*Remember that LBJ is the Tonkin Gulf Liar who started the Vietnam War, which killed 55 thousand Americans and continues, with the ultra-cancerous Agent Orange, to murder countless Vietnamese and kill off U.S. veterans of what was never anything less than a war of colonial conquest and imperial expansion-- a notably criminal expression of American (white male supremacist) exceptionalism defeated by the Vietnamese and Soviet peoples in what was most likely the last progressive victory our species will ever know.

(Disclosure: I always wondered at the [then-apparent] paradox of the most violent warmonger since Hitler supporting civil rights and voting rights, especially when they remained so unpopular amongst the Moronic Majority. But within a decade, it had become clear there was no paradox at all: the measures lacked adequate enforcement and therefore were clearly intended to be no more than temporary ameliorations purposefully designed to eventually fail -- an early but now-classic example of how the post-JFK "Democratic" (sic) Party's true function, then as now, is serving as the Republicans' "change-we-can-believe-in" deception arm, aka their Fifth Column. )

It is our national misfortune there are too few Democrats as courageous as Rep. Lewis; were it otherwise, the voters would not have murdered the Republic on 5 November 2024. The Epstein protestors bay like ravenous wolves, but the 5 November voters have rendered them utterly toothless by vindictively giving the hateful MAGATs absolute, dictatorial control of the entire federal government. (The Supreme Court and oath-breaking military had already been hopelessly corrupted by Christonazi subversion, as had all state and local law enforcement.)

John Lewis and those like him are Civil Rights Heroes and great Americans. As a teen, I watched good trouble unfolding in the south and changes coming, slowly but surely. I am 73 now, and agree with John Lewis that the work is never finished and there is always some good to do. So I keep on as I am able to help all my brothers and sisters in need, and to bend that arc of justice toward a more perfect Union. Rest in eternal Light, John.

Heather-words can't express how helpful you are.

All that she writes is perfectly suited to honor the memory of John Lewis. No wonder.

And as the professor somehow finds a way to say it simply and profoundly, at once, it is such as this:

“[H]e helped to organize the 1963 March on Washington where the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. told more than 200,000 people gathered at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial that he had a dream.”

Those among us, and far beyond us know that the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. told us “that he had a dream.” And yet, we hear of it anew today.

Lewis’s ‘call to action’ comes with a dangerous possibility TODAY…because thugs have taken over…and they will violently oppose protest, egged on by the Big Orange Coward<<< as Trump DID on January 6/21. Some of us remember! 🤨

No lie was ever as ‘supported’, until now.

To make the ‘good trouble’ necessary to have the damning facts from the Epstein Files released, people will DIE.

However, it is the litmus test for how compromised the FBI and CIA are (as per SCOTUS) and just how corrupt HLS is under one of Trump’s sordid harem.

I acknowledge that MOST Americans are in shock, reeling, and frightened….but, it is imperative that it doesn’t stall an appropriate reaction to the fascist regime’s moves.

Remember the old adage: “Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile!” It was never more apt!!

No time or effort can be wasted now that so much of ‘Project 2025’ has already been implemented - mostly without Congress being involved, and almost 100% AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION’S SAFEGUARDS.

This unconscionable fascist ‘coup’ is treachery of the highest order. None of the hidden outrageous tenets of the BBBILL were ever disclosed BEFORE the election, with the exception of what the MAGAs ‘wanted to hear’ re how wonderful the country would be after ‘illegals’ were deported.

I would catagorize that election as a “rout”, by a bully doing ‘nasties’ a promised favour.

Again…MOST Americans were shocked but not surprised or fooled by the murders in Minnesota. The ‘example’ was established…the threat made real…the vulnerability of ANY of us demonstrated in blood!

Gangsters are running loose dear John Lewis, and they are masked and armed to the teeth. But the real reason they are so emboldened is their fascist LEADER, who nothing sticks to from rape to illegal non-sanctioned bombing of another nation. Unbelievable, right! 🤯

The picture is very grim, even for those of us who have witnessed the success of nonviolent resistance over the decades.

😇

We are dealing with pure evil acting on HATE. America needs a MIRACLE.

Pray for us…

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Last summer, as the world wondered how anyone could choose someone as obviously wrong as Donald Trump again, I had another argument with my cousin, whose views were (and still are) always negative, about what might happen if the unthinkable occurred and somehow, Trump managed to worm his way back into the White House. "No matter what, I will fight it. I have to. It's who I am." So, of course, I agree with John Lewis, and I am still fighting, now at the sides of Heather Cox Richardson, and Glenn Kirschner. We stand up for what is right. And we always will.

Thanks Heather Cox Richardson, for helping keep John Lewis's Good Trouble alive. We all need to be reminded if we want change, we must be the change.

''The Time for Good Trouble Has Come Again''

Five years ago, we lost Congressman John Lewis, a moral giant who taught us that standing up to injustice is not only our right but our duty. He called it “good trouble,” and he lived it with courage, compassion, and relentless faith in nonviolence.

Lewis bore the bruises of America’s conscience. From the Greyhound station in Montgomery to the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, he risked his life so others could vote, speak, and dream freely. What many once dismissed as “lawbreaking” was, in truth, democracy in action.

Today, that same democracy is threatened. Book bans, voter suppression, police brutality, and attacks on bodily autonomy echo the injustices Lewis fought. But his voice still calls to us: “Do not get lost in a sea of despair... Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

Thousands are rising again—marching, organizing, and speaking out. We honor Lewis not with statues or silence, but with action. When truth is buried and justice denied, good trouble is the only moral choice.

Now is the time to say something. Do something. To make noise. To be unafraid. John Lewis showed us how. It’s our turn now.

Good trouble lives on. And it must.

Such paradox isn’t it? “Get in trouble, good trouble “ challenge status quo and enrage the fearful ❤️👏🏽👏🏼to bring this country to a truly United land..

Chris Soden's avatar

I miss John Lewis. He was a mover and shaker and would have put many of these GOP in their place. He had no fear after so many years of making good trouble. So in his memory I try to make good trouble wherever and however I can. Thank you HCR for bringing him alive again and thank you Mr Lewis for your dedication to democracy in America.

John Lewis was an extraordinary human being and a true American. How uplifting and relevant his life and words are for us today. 🌿
